The IESG has received a request from the Transport Layer Security WG (tls) to consider the following document: - 'Transport Layer Security (TLS) Cached Information Extension' <draft-ietf-tls-cached-info-20.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2015-12-04. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Transport Layer Security (TLS) handshakes often include fairly static information, such as the server certificate and a list of trusted certification authorities (CAs). This information can be of considerable size, particularly if the server certificate is bundled with a complete certificate chain (i.e., the certificates of intermediate CAs up to the root CA). This document defines an extension that allows a TLS client to inform a server of cached information, allowing the server to omit already available information. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tls-cached-info/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tls-cached-info/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. RFC 4634 has been obsoleted by RFC 6234. We'll fix the reference later.
